Chapter 175 Conflict of Interest
Chapter 175 Conflict of Interest
At this time, on one side of the confrontation were a group of gangster-like people armed with iron rods, knives, chain locks, etc. On the other side are villagers with shovels and hoes. The two sides refused to give in to each other, pointing at each other and insulting each other, but neither of them would budge.
At this time, Shi Xiaolu squeezed through the crowd and came to an old man with a wrinkled face. The old man was arguing with the gangster opposite, and he was already blushing and his neck was thick.
"Li Xiaotao, don't think that your brother-in-law is the county magistrate, you are bullying others! Your brother-in-law has to be polite when he sees me, he is a good official, but how can he be such a brother-in-law of you?" said the old man with his cane.
"Old thing, don't you mention anything to me brother-in-law, I am now representing Fengxin Real Estate Development Company. We have already bought this piece of land in your village. Sign the agreement honestly, take the money and leave, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If you keep making trouble, don't even think about getting a penny. A gangster on the other side was wearing a yellow suit, with open arms, and a palm-sized heart guard hair on his chest, who was pointing at the old man with the sunglasses in his hand.
"I don't care what your company is, I just know that we've lived here for generations. Every grass and tree, mountain and water here is as familiar to us as our own hair.
We have lived here for generations, and the mausoleums of all generations are buried here, which is the foundation of the generations of sages in my Shijia Village.
Don't say we won't move out, you can't even dare to touch every brick and tile we have here!"
The old man's hair was all open, and there was a faint sound of gold and stone in his words. The shock made Li Xiaotao a little untenable.
However, Li Xiaotao is by no means a good type, and after stabilizing his mind, he changed to a slippery expression and said: "I said old man, call you old man, that is to respect your age." I heard that you fought devils when you were young, so I was so polite.
But you don't want to think about it, what age is this? If you still engage in clan behavior, where did you get all the education in the army?"
"Don't mention the army to me, you are also worthy?" the old man's anger rose again.
"Okay, don't mention the army, don't mention the army. Then Li Xiaotao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, changed the topic, and said: "What kind of society is it now? Look at it, look at it, as far as the villagers of your village are concerned, which one is rich? Who has a little spare money? Nesting in this ravine all day long, where is the slightest bit of income?
Even if you old people don't want to move out, have you ever thought about those young people? Have you ever thought about those children? If the children are out of this mountain, then going to college is not like having fun?"
Li Xiaotao's words made some villagers with children bow their heads. If there is anything they can't let go of the most, it's the child's future.
"By the way, this is the archway, right?" Li Xiaotao pointed to a dilapidated stone archway behind him, on which the words "Jinshi and the first" could be faintly seen. He continued: "I heard that there were people in your village during the Qing Dynasty, and this archway was set up at that time, right? Look at it, how beautiful it is! This admission to university is the same as that of the middle jinshi in those years! You don't want the children to get ahead?"
These words were very inflammatory, and looking at the expressions of the villagers, Li Xiaotao was also secretly happy.
Even the thugs around him showed an expression of adoration. Some people secretly stretched out their thumbs, the boss deserves to be the boss, and this ability to fool people is so good!
Li Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a little fluttering when he saw the admiring eyes of his companions and the hesitant eyes of the villagers. But he secretly said in his heart: I didn't expect the method taught by Secretary Wu before going out to be so effective. It seems that this cultured person is even more terrible when he is bad! In the future, if there is something to do, he will have to come up with ideas, and it is a big deal to let my sister blow the pillow wind more at my brother-in-law's.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Xiaotao said loudly again: "Now, if anyone is willing to sign the agreement, I will add another 100,000 compensation." ”
As soon as these words came out, the "buzzing" among the villagers became a little louder. Rao is the prestige of an old man, and he is also a little uncontrollable.
At this time, I heard a sweet female voice say: "You are lying, folks, don't be fooled." ”
Li Xiaotao couldn't help but feel amazed when he saw a very beautiful girl talking, and he didn't even pay attention to what she said, just looked at her so stupidly.
It was Shi Xiaolu who spoke, she first focused everyone's attention on herself, and then said loudly: "Uncles and uncles, do you believe me? I have been working in the capital for so long, and not all the children in the capital can go to university." And the money they gave for the demolition was not enough to buy a house in the city, let alone send their children to school. ”
There was a "buzzing" sound among the villagers again, because Shi Xiaolu was a girl from their village, even if she was so smart, she still went to a secondary school. Compared with her, her own children are far behind. But there is a good saying, the daughter-in-law is the beauty of others, and the children are their own good. No one wants to admit that their children can't. But after all, Shi Xiaolu has seen the world, and many people still believe her words. Once you leave the village where you have lived for generations, you can't afford to buy a house, you have to make a living, and you have to pay for your children's schooling...... It's all the fear of the unknown.
"And ......," Shi Xiaolu continued, "Uncles and uncles, most of our villages are built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they are cultural relics. The state has regulations that it is to be protected and cannot be dismantled. It is illegal to dismantle it casually. ”
"Do you have a certificate?" at this time, a thug shouted loudly, and pulled Li Xiaotao vigorously.
"Oh yes, if you don't have a certificate, you're not a relic. Li Xiaotao also came back to his senses at this time.
Originally, the villagers had already moved, but they didn't expect to be disturbed by this little girl. He felt that although this little girl was beautiful, she was very hateful. In fact, if some more compensation is added, it is estimated that some villagers will agree, but he is really unwilling to pay more.
In fact, the company did not have an approval, but this kind of thing of cutting first and then playing is not less. And just because he has a brother-in-law who is a county magistrate, the company asked him to do it. And he has a lot of money, but if he gives less to the villagers, he can lose more, right? That's why he squeezes so much.
"Hmph, don't think we don't know, I've inquired. The Cultural Relics Bureau said that the certificate had come down a long time ago, and you must have withheld it. One of the villagers said indignantly.
"Hey, you have to talk about evidence. If you talk nonsense, I will sue you for slander. A yellow-haired thug pointed at the villager.
"Uncles and uncles, if our village is really identified as a heritage reserve, then we can develop it into a tourist attraction. At that time, everyone's livelihood will not be a problem, and the younger siblings will be able to afford to go to a better school. Shi Xiaolu added a fire at the right time.
"Stinky girl, you dare to spoil my good deeds!" Li Xiaotao had already rushed over, and reached out to grab Shi Xiaolu's chest. I just don't know if he is used to fighting or if he does it on purpose.
After all, Secretary Wu only taught him a few words, who would have thought that there would be a disturbance halfway. Li Xiaotao didn't know how to deal with it now, so he simply went back to his old job and spoke with his fists.
And if it is really to be changed into a tourist attraction, it is the villagers who will benefit, even the county. And only he, Li Xiaotao, did not benefit at all, so he must not let this kind of thing happen.
Don't look at Shi Xiaolu's mouth, he is very able to speak, and when he saw that the other party was going to make a move, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again. The villagers stopped at this time, and rushed up with hoes.
As soon as the villagers got up, the thugs also raised their guys and rushed up, and the two sides fell into a scuffle.
At this time, Li Xiaotao took out a pistol out of nowhere and fired a shot at the sky.
The gunfire stopped both sides at once. And when the gangsters saw that it was their eldest brother who fired the gun, they became even more unscrupulous.
The yellow hair kicked over the villager who had just spoken, and shouted: "Aren't you so special? Didn't you go to the Cultural Relics Bureau to inqui......re? Inquire about it......"
While scolding, he kicked the villager hard. He also used the soles of his shoes stained with muddy water to crush the mouth of the villager vigorously.
And Li Xiaotao smiled and stretched out his hand in the direction of Shi Xiaolu.
